Customer Service
Support work is sorting what came in, drafting a consistent reply, and answering the questions that repeat. Anything sensitive, or anything that needs a judgment, goes to a person. Replies are drafted. A person sends them.
- The support inbox sorted, and urgent messages flagged
- Replies drafted for approval, in a consistent voice
- Repeat questions answered from a knowledge base the team keeps current
